What I'm getting at is will their always be someone willing to buy my shares when I'm ready to sell or will it take a while to get them sold? Thanks.

When you are buying shares, make sure you buy shares of a company that has high volumes of its shares traded. This way, when you want to off-load the shares back into the market, you can always find a buyer within seconds. Shares are easy to sell when there are more buyers than sellers.
When there are more sellers, then it lowers the prices of shares drastically. The market is basically driven by fear(supply) and greed(demand). I'm technical investor, so a fundamental investor might disagree with me....

It depends on the company. For publicly traded companies, there's always somebody to buy your stock - if not an individual, then there's a specialist for it at the stock market. So you can sell immediately.
If you have stock in a private company you might have to wait awhile. Over-the-counter stocks could fall into this same category.

Its total up to What company your trying to sell, and how much volume they do daily in the market, and at what price your willing to take. You say $2 - $3, but what is the market at $1 or $5 or what?? I have sold all my stocks in minutes, but i have only well know company's. But it comes down to Daily Volume and Price.

That relies upon upon countless concerns. maximum critically is how the funding community perspectives this purchase out. even as a extra perfect employer buys a smaller corporation, they plenty 'purchase' each and each and every of the astonishing stocks and convert them to their inventory. the straightforward is that if a employer A is determining to purchase corporation Z and the present fee for corporation Z's inventory is $5 yet they purchase out is for $8 then truly the inventory fee for corporation Z inventory will upward push to some degree. although, depending upon how the investement community perspectives the perfect outcome merged corporation destiny, the inventory fee may upward push above or sink less than the proposed $8 buyout earlier than it ever occurs. A buyout is extremely frequently astounding for a short tem danger if the buyout words are extra perfect than the present fee, in spite of the truth that, the received't continuously be the case. wish this helps!

Technically, you would have to wait for someone to buy them. However, unless it was a very very obscure stock, there is almost always going to be a buyer. Assuming that you use an online trading account, you will almost instantly find a buyer.

Most likely it would take a while, since they are considered penny stocks. The other question is what are they traded on?

normally not that long but you can look at the volume.
Stupid people theory: price going down so i should sell, price going up so i should buy.
